Michael Hoffman ...I'm not fond of the version with chips. Then again, I don't care for any ice cream that includes pieces of chocolate.

That might be because of the quality of the chips in other Chocolate Chip Ice Creams. As I mentioned above, the process for getting Chocolate Chips into Graeter's Ice Cream is totally different from any other commercial product:

Graeter's "Chips" are more flakes, they pour liquid chocolate into the rotating french pot and as the paddles scrape the sides of the pot the "chips" are formed, so they are never the same size or shape.

We stopped at the New Albany, IN Graeter's yesterday. Jan got a single-scoop of Toffee Chip. I got a single of Blueberry Pie. Both of us got the Waffle cones. These folks did not have the Fresh Peach flavor yet. AND The Pretzel Waffle Cones are no longer available (at least at this store).

Spent the day at the Heinen's in Shaker Heights. Checked out the freezer case when I was ready to leave. No peach, but they did have Blueberry Pie. Thought about picking up a pint, but faced the dilemma of needing to finish off a pint all by myself, just before dinner. Plus there's no freezer in my hotel room, so it was a matter of polishing it off, or tossing the remainder in the trash. I just couldn't live with myself if that happened.

BTW, Graeter's is not the most expensive Ice Cream in the grocery store. They had pints of Jeni's Ice Cream (icecreamchick's fave) for $9.99 each!

Still on a graeters watch our two local Krogers do not have the peach flavor yet, but the Graeters near UC did have it in stock, 2 scoops on a waffle cone.

Must make room in my freezer (just having gotten 60 totino pizzas) (Hey Krogers was giving them away today and at twice the fuel points) (they were 10 pizzas for $10.00 and with a purchase of 5 you got $5.00 back) so 20 pizzas fro $20.00 and 4 x $5.00 coupon back at the register and fri sat sun every purchase @ krogers is double fuel points so they are giving me free gas to besides the free pizzas)

We went to Graeters tonight for my daughters report card, all A's , hers was free , ours were not. On Fathers Day it is ugly tie day , 1 ugly tie = 1 free scoop. The lady behind the counter said Peach was coming soon, they will display a large banner when it arrives. I tried the Salted Caramel , it was pretty good.

Thanks Annie! We went up to Utica to Velvet ice cream to sit out by the water wheel (it was a grist mill in 1871) and the pond where there are ducks, geese and swans. I had sea salt caramel in a waffle cone and MH had boring vanilla. The free sundae at Graeter's is good until the 21st. We will go tomorrow or Monday before departing on our mini-Roadfood trip next week!

Had my free sundae at Graeter's today, I got a Turtle Sundae. It was very good.........vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate and butterscotch sauces with a plethora of pecans, whipped cream and a cherry. I could not finish it.....too sweet for me. I prefer my one scoop of peach in a cup! MH did not get boring vanilla he had black cherry. It's delicious too!

Because it was free for my birthday!!! We have the peach in our freezer at home and Graeter's is only about 2 miles away so I can get it any time. I don't have a sweet tooth so it really was a bit much for me.

It is available at only one store that I know of up here. I've had it a few times, but never the peach. I don't find it to be any better than the other super premiums, but I'll check out the peach if I can find it. The pints that we get here are, "Made under the authority of....", so maybe it is not really the same stuff as is raved about here....

I must admit I am not a big fan of the 'chunky dark chocolate' in the 'chip' flavored ice creams. I Like their Strawberry and the Blueberry Pie. I live for the coming of the Peach flavor each summer. It is the best of all their seasonal flavors IMHO. I wish we could get the basic 'chip flavors' without the chip-chunks. All three that I have had...Blk Raspberry, Toffee, and Mocha are fine ice creams without the chocolate added.

ALL Graeters ice cream is made herein Cincinnati, and made 2 gallons at a time, then each pint is hand packed, before it gets deep frozen. They just expanded their production facility here and it is a marvel to behold the new place compared to the older processing plant.

Went to Krogers in Harrison last night and BINGO they had fresh peach @ $4.99/pint. However I still had my $5.00 cash back coupons from the free pizza they were giving away last week, and it was on ONE DAY SALE for 2 for $8.00.

I got 4 pints and even cash back woo hoo

I ate one last night when i got home and about half way through the pint I hit something SOLID I thought "oh good the center of the ice cream is still frozen rock solid (from the 20 minute drive home)

NOPE - I dug the solid chunk out, IT WAS A WHOLE HALF PEACH I think they missed that one when processing the peaches. It was a very pleasant surprise and packed a real peachy flavor to go with the peach ice cream.

I bought some yesterday due to this thread and it did not disappoint. Very good although a bit expensive in my opinion, but still good. I'm bummed though as I couldnt find the blueberry pie. Maybe its not in season yet.

Don't feel so bad. In Dallas, I've yet to see either Blueberry Pie or, Peach. Btw, A pint of Graeter's at Kroger's in Dallas costs $4.49. How much in Wellsburg?
